There are different opinions on Beehaw's registration process. I kind of see how some people would find it dissuasive, specially after most of us are coming from Reddit. But I still think it's very practical, at least for the time being.

Btw, this is only my opinion as a new user, I don't know any of the admins/mods. Link to my original comment.

I think Beehaw could make it clearer that they are only looking for about three sentences demonstrating that you’ve read the documents (actually, do you need to fully read the documents? It’s a bit unclear), and that you aren’t being “graded”.

we did make a few edits so hopefully this is more clear. i don't want to "give the game away" though so to speak, so unfortunately i'll have to be mum on the first bit besides what i just said.

Out of interest though, would “I just want to lurk and read posts” be acceptable as an answer to the third question?

we're pretty generous as long as their whole application isn't only "i'm gonna lurk" or something.
